My new favourite internet quiz, which post-Socialist Workers Party grouplet are you?

I got the International Socialist Network.
QuoteThe first wave of SWP resignations after the rape crisis broke out, you've earned some respect for your willingness to work with others, and to explore a range of radical ideas and approaches. You may be anarcho-curious. You're a little bit silly and will bicker amongst yourselves at times. A year old now, and you've survived; it remains to be seen if you can flourish.

Heh, I'd love to move to this town.  :Joos

:lol:

Apparently the name comes from a typo by some clerk back in the XVIth century.  :lol:

We have craploads of un-PC names of this ilk though, my grandmother lived in "Moorkiller Road" (Riera Matamoros). The name still stands to this day.

Fair; but, being a Jew myself, the thought of living in "Jew Killer" town appeals.  :D

They could move Siege into it, and change the name to "Killer Jew" town (dunno if this joke works in Spanish, though  :hmm: ).

It's neat that there is a city in Mexico called 'Moor killer'. :)

QuoteLooking for a Prostitute? Germany Has an App for That
By Kayla Ruble

April 29, 2014 | 2:10 pm
Thanks to a new smartphone app, there may no longer be a need to comb the streets in search of a prostitute.

The red light districts in Germany just received a technology makeover with the launch of Peppr, a new service billed as "the first mobile web app for booking erotic entertainment." A client can use the app to locate nearby sex workers from the comfort of their own home simply by selecting the man or woman of choice from a list of profiles.

The cost to book the service on the platform is about 10 euros, which is split between the Peppr and the prostitute or agency. Peppr does not charge the prostitutes or the agencies a fee for the service.

"It's a platform for sex workers and independent agencies to manage their bookings," Pia Poppenreiter, one of Peppr's co-founders and the creative brain behind the app, told VICE News.

She said that the site is empowering because it allows prostitutes to better assert control of their business.
